Optical stimulation of the FGF signaling pathway is sufficient to maintain human pluripotent stem cells

ABSTRACT: Stem cell fate is largely determined by a cell-signaling network and can be controlled by the supplementation of exogenous recombinant proteins; this, however, may cause heterogeneous and unsynchronized signaling due to the uneven distribution of recombinant proteins. Such issues are closely associated with the spontaneous differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC), which lead to a continuing loss of pluripotency. We report a novel optical control system to maintain the cellular fate of hPSCs without the daily supplementation of recombinant Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 (FGF2) protein, a key molecule for their stemness. Using blue light illumination, we mimick the activation of the FGF signaling pathway in hPSCs carrying the large light-oxygen-voltage (LOV)-sensing domain, an algae-/plant-derived photo-activable protein. The optically maintained hPSCs have similar cellular and molecular profiles to those cultured with FGF2 protein and display differentiation capabilities into three germ layers. These data provide proof-of-concept that the optical control of signaling pathways can be applied to human stem cells.

Genome-wide analysis of retinal transcriptome reveals common genetic network underlying perception of contrast and optical defocus detection

Project description:Refractive eye development is regulated by optical defocus in a process of emmetropization. Excessive exposure to negative optical defocus often leads to the development of myopia. However, it is still largely unknown how optical defocus is detected by the retina. Here, we used genome-wide RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) to conduct analysis of the retinal genetic networks underlying contrast perception and refractive eye development. We report that the genetic network subserving contrast perception plays an important role in optical defocus detection and emmetropization. Our results demonstrate an interaction between contrast perception, the retinal circadian clock pathway and the signaling pathway underlying optical defocus detection. We also observe that the relative majority of genes causing human myopia are involved in the processing of optical defocus. Together, our results support the hypothesis that optical defocus is perceived by the retina using contrast as a proxy and provide new insights into molecular signaling underlying refractive eye development.

Critical role of FGF, RA, and WNT signaling for otic lineage specification from human PSCs in a 2D/3D-combined differentiation system

Project description:The otic placode, from which the inner ear develops, initially forms as a thickened ectodermal patch adjacent to the dorsolateral hindbrain. Induction of otic placodal cells from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) provides a robust approach to investigation of otic development. However, attempts to recapitulate otic lineage specification from hPSCs by stepwise differentiation methods have had limited success. One possible reason is that the role of signaling pathways in otic cell differentiation is not fully understood. Here, we developed a novel differentiation system involving use of suspension culture (3D floating culture) in combination with signaling factors for generating otic placodal cells via stepwise differentiation of hPSCs. We demonstrate that hPSC-derived pre-placodal cells acquired the potential to differentiate into posterior placodal cells after fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) and retinoic acid (RA) treatment. Subsequent activation of WNT signaling following posterior placode specification induced differentiation of SIX1+/PAX8+/SOX2+ otic placodal cells. qPCR analysis showed that WNT activation increased expression of otocyst markers, including PAX8, PAX2, DLX5 and FBXO2. Moreover, induced otic cells exhibited similar gene expression patterns to the ventral and medial portions of the otocyst that give rise to the sensory epithelium of the inner ear. Collectively, our results indicate a critical role for FGF2, RA, and WNT signaling for the in vitro differentiation of the otic cell lineage from hPSCs. Our new culture system paves the way for improved modeling of early human inner ear development and will be of value to studies on the further differentiation of sensory epithelial cells.

Effect of FGFC on human embryonic stem cells

Project description:Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are essential for maintaining self-renewal in human embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells. Recombinant basic FGF (bFGF or FGF2) is conventionally used to culture pluripotent stem cells; however, because of bFGF instability, repeated addition of fresh bFGF into the culture medium is required in order to maintain its concentration. In this study, we demonstrate that a heat-stable chimeric variant of FGF, FGFC, can be successfully used for maintaining human pluripotent stem cells. FGFC is a chimeric protein composed of human FGF1 and FGF2 domains that exhibits higher thermal stability and protease resistance than do both FGF1 and FGF2. Both human embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells were maintained in ordinary culture medium containing FGFC instead of FGF2. Comparison of cells grown in FGFC with those grown in conventional FGF2 media, showed no significant differences in terms of the expression of pluripotency markers, global gene expression, karyotype, or differentiation potential into the three germ lineages. We therefore propose FGFC, as an effective alternative to FGF2, for maintenance of human pluripotent stem cells.

Secreted footprint of pluripotency in Man-13 HeSCs

Project description:With a view to developing a much-needed non-invasive method for monitoring the healthy pluripotent state of human stem cells in culture, we undertook proteomic analysis of the waste medium from cultured induced (Rebl.PAT) human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). Cells were grown in E8 medium to maintain pluripotency, and then transferred to FGF2 and TGFβ deficient E6 media for 48 hours to replicate an early, undirected dissolution of pluripotency. We identified a distinct proteomic footprint associated with early loss of pluripotency in both hPSC lines, and a strong correlation with changes in the transcriptome. We demonstrate that multiplexing of four E8- against four E6- enriched secretome biomarkers provides a robust, diagnostic metric for pluripotent state. These biomarkers were further confirmed by Western blotting which demonstrated consistent correlation with the pluripotent state across cell lines, and in response to a recovery assay.

Heparin promotes cardiac differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells in chemically defined albumin-free medium enabling consistent manufacture of cardiomyocytes

Project description:Cardiomyocytes can be differentiated from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) in defined conditions, but efficient and consistent cardiomyocyte differentiation often requires expensive reagents such as B27 supplement or recombinant albumin. Using a chemically defined albumin-free (E8 basal) medium, we identified heparin as a novel factor that significantly promotes cardiomyocyte differentiation efficiency, and developed an efficient method to differentiate hPSCs into cardiomyocytes. The treatment of heparin helped cardiomyocyte differentiation consistently reach at least 80% purity (up to 95%) from more than 10 different hPSC lines in chemically defined DMEM/F-12 based medium on either Matrigel or defined matrices like Vitronectin and Synthemax. One of heparinâs main functions was to act as a WNT modulator that helped promote robust and consistent cardiomyocyte production. Our study provides an efficient, reliable, and cost-effective method for cardiomyocyte derivation from hPSCs that can be used for potential large-scale drug screening, disease modeling, and future cellular therapies. 12 human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) at three different cardiac differentiation times (0 Days, 3 Days, 6 Days, 10 Days) under different culture conditions (+/- Heparin, +/- IWP2).

Linked optical and gene expression profiling of single cells at high throughput

Project description:Single cell RNA sequencing has emerged as a powerful tool for characterizing cells, but not all phenotypes of interest can be observed through gene expression alone. Linking sequencing with optical analysis has provided insight into the molecular basis behind cellular function, but current approaches have limited throughput. Here, we present a high throughput platform for linked optical and gene expression profiling of single cells. We demonstrate accurate fluorescence and gene expression measurements from thousands of cells in a single experiment and use the platform to characterize DNA and RNA changes in Jurkat cells through the cell-cycle. In addition to its scalability, our integration of microfluidics and array-based molecular biology holds promise for comprehensive multi-omics profiling of single cells.
